Modification du potentiel d'une électrode pendant l'électrolyse de façon que le potentiel d'une anode devienne toujours plus noble et celui d'une cathode moins noble que leurs potentiels statiques respectifs (à courant nul). Sa valeur est égale à la différence entre le potentiel statique et le potentiel dynamique, habituellement exprimée en millivolts. 1, record 1, French, - polarisation
